Laminate is a modern floor covering that most consumers prefer preference.
The floor that was embroidered with such material is convenient to operate and pleases the eye, and I want it not only pleased, but also warmed. To do this, it is necessary to install heating elements under the laminate and the resulting warm floor will be obtained, you can also use the services of specialists, more here - the installation of the warm floor the cost of work.
At the moment there are several wallpapers: cable, water and film.
For laminate, with its low thermal conductivity, the film (infrared) is best suited. This type of sex appeared recently, but in a short period of time it became the most popular, thanks to the new technology, simple installation and harmlessness. If you compare the radiation of the cable floor and infrared, then the first it will be almost like a microwave and hardly to benefit health. And infrared waves apply to less intensity, especially as they are absolutely harmless and consume less energy.
Preparatory actions.
Before laying a film floor, it is necessary to align the base. To do this, the concrete screed is poured or plywood is stacked.
On the basis it is desirable to lay the substrate. It is manufactured from various materials, but better if it is a lavsan (insulating, heat-resistant material). Foil, or other metal material, it is impossible to use. The substrate is mounted with the help of the clutch.
Installing and connecting heaters.
Film heaters are placed on the sections, their boundaries are marked with a cut line, it makes it easy to calculate the required area. The film stacked with a small gap, inscriptions up and attached to the tape.
To connect wires to heating elements, you will need: terminals with rivets, hole punch, a construction knife, bituminous tape. This is done as follows: a hole, in the copper strip, pierced a hole, then the film is separated opposite the hole and the terminal is inserted, which is fixed with a rivet. After connecting all terminals and cuts are isolated.
Thermostat.
The thermostat is installed under the heating element and is fixed with scotch. It is designed to regulate floor temperature. Now mainly automatic sensors are used that support the specified floor temperature by turning on and off the heating elements.
